Assemblymember Michelle Rodriguez authors The Hero’s Overtime Relief Act, Assembly Bill 1057
For immediate release:
Tuesday, April 8, 2025
SACRAMENTO, CA - Assemblymember Michelle Rodriguez (D-Ontario) presented Assembly Bill (AB) 1057 in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee yesterday, April 7. Also known as the Hero's Overtime Relief Act, this legislation proposes a tax exclusion for qualified overtime wages earned by eligible taxpayers for work related to emergency operations between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2030. "In times of emergency in our state, we turn to the brave first responders who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. It is time California provides tax relief so these heroes are fairly compensated for their extraordinary service and sacrifice", said Assemblymember Rodriguez.
Under this legislation, overtime pay earned by qualified first responders will not be considered taxable income if it is earned while responding to or supporting emergency operations in a designated disaster zone. This ensures that those most directly involved in disaster response receive the financial support and recognition they deserve.
